Chapter 459: The Sound of Faint Candles in the Dark Night
It was night, and in the lobby of the Tiger Roaring Gang's headquarters, a candle burned quietly, crackling from time to time.
The dim candle flame flickered slightly, making the lobby, which was not spacious, seem a little eerie. A light breeze blew in from outside the wide open doors and windows, blowing the only candle, and the light and shadow swayed, adding a bit of ghost feeling.
There is only one person in the lobby now, Hou Xiaohu is sitting alone in the lobby gang leader, his left hand supporting his head, his right hand on his knees, a pair of eyes squinted slightly, and the whole person is lying horizontally, like a reclining Buddha.
Since the five sons of the Five Merchants Alliance left Tiger Roar Island in the evening and went to the Wicked Island where the Dongting Gang headquarters is located (the Dongting Gang calls itself Immortal Island), Hou Xiaohu temporarily took everyone else in the lobby of the Tiger Roar Gang headquarters, and since then he has been in that posture alone, motionless.
Even the Tiger Roaring Gang members who came to deliver dinner were sent away by Hou Xiaohu, and as for Qian Xiaowu, they were naturally even more confused, not knowing what their little gang leader was pulling out of his brain.
So in the evening, the sun sets in the west mountains, the moon rises in the east in the night, and there has always been a strange silence in the range of dozens of feet around the lobby of the Tiger Roaring Gang headquarters.
It wasn't until a slender white figure quietly appeared in the lobby of the Tiger Roaring Gang headquarters that Hou Xiaohu silently opened his eyes that had been closed for a long time, and looked at the strange woman in front of him with a cold temperament but gentle temperament with a bit of indifference in his eyes.
Mo Yufang only felt that the moment she stepped into the lobby of the Tiger Roar Gang headquarters, a pair of eyes full of tyrannical murderous intent suddenly locked on her. It felt as if there was a fierce and terrifying man-eating beast lurking in the dim candle flame ahead. It's just that this feeling is fleeting, and the tyrannical killing intent in the next moment is not seen in an instant, as if the tyrannical killing intent like a desolate beast has never appeared. And Hou Xiaohu's light voice also came faintly from the dim candle flame in the depths of the lobby: "Sister Fang, it's so late, why haven't you gone to rest yet?"
Secretly suppressing a little inexplicable panic in her heart, Mo Yufang stabilized her mind, and replied to Hou Xiaohu in the darkness with the same faintness: "It's still early at night, so I'm going around." Seeing that the lobby was still lit, I came over to take a look. I didn't expect it to be you, brother Xiaohu. ”
She then took a tentative step forward, but she no longer felt the murderous aura that even she felt palpitating before. Pressing down the doubts that still did not dissipate in her heart, Mo Yufang continued to walk towards the depths of the lobby, and asked lightly, "Brother Xiaohu, it's so late, are you still busy?"
“...... There is no ......" Hou Xiaohu in the darkness was silent for a moment, and finally silently spit out these two words.
It was in such a kung fu that Mo Yufang walked into Hou Xiaohu. Originally, the headquarters lobby of the Tiger Roaring Gang was not large, but tonight the sky was densely covered with some dark clouds, and the moonlight was tightly blocked, and it seemed that a heavy rain was about to fall. In this way, the lobby of this headquarters looks very dim.
And when he got closer at this moment, Mo Yufang didn't notice anything unusual in Hou Xiaohu in front of him, if there was really anything different, that is, the expression on Hou Xiaohu's face under the dim candlelight at this moment looked quite serious, and it felt like something was being suppressed in his heart.
On the face that was still a little childish, there was such a tangled expression at this moment, but it made Mo Yufang feel a little distressed in her heart.
"The people from the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance who came today are Zhang Chengluo and Wang Yuehan among them?" was silent for a while, but Mo Yufang suddenly asked.
Hearing this question, Hou Xiaohu was stunned, and then nodded lightly, and he didn't know why he didn't hide it at all: "Yes, Sister Fang, the oldest of the five people from the Dongzhou Five Business Alliance who came today is Zhang Chengluo, and the Wang Yuehan you said is also among them." I think Sister Fang, you haven't left before, you must be able to see them in the dark. Zhang Chengluo is the strong man in green clothes, while Wang Yuehan is wearing navy blue clothes. ”
"As for the remaining three, they are Fang Jinggang of the Dongchang Fang clan, He Minfeng of the He clan of Yanzhou, and Huang Sihai of the Hejian Huang clan. This time, all the people from the five major families of the Dongzhou Five Business Alliance came. After Hou Xiaohu finished speaking lightly, he raised his head, looked at Mo Yufang with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes, and asked in a solemn voice: "Sister Fang, could it be that you, Zhang Chengluo and Wang Yuehan have formed a relationship before?"
"Not really. I have been to the Dongzhou Five Business Alliance before, and I have been a guest in the Wang family of Qizhou and the Zhang family of Qingzhou, and I have seen Zhang Chengluo and Wang Yuehan, which can be regarded as a little friendship. Mo Yufang's gaze gently swept over Hou Xiaohu's face, and then said with a bit of reminiscence.
It's just that Hou Xiaohu looked at Mo Yufang's expression, but he couldn't help but feel inexplicably sour in his heart, as if some people or things that should have belonged to him were taken by others.
However, without waiting for Hou Xiaohu to taste the inexplicable sourness in his heart, Mo Yufang asked softly: "Brother Xiaohu, are the five people of the Five Merchants Alliance still on Tiger Roaring Island now?"
As soon as her words came out, Hou Xiaohu was silent all of a sudden, but this silence only lasted for a while, and Hou Xiaohu's voice sounded leisurely with a bit of expectation: "They may have arrived at the Wicked Island." ”
